Description

I found the movement to be much more enjoyable on this one than on Twisted Aces. Good views at the top. The hardest moves for me seemed to be getting just past the first bolt. Everything after that was nice, sustained climbing.

Location

Located just climbers right of Twisted Aces.

Protection

6 bolts - the guidebook says 5. I'm guessing someone added the 6th one (which you can't see from the ground) to protect the easy, run-out scrambling past the 5th bolt. New leaders may want to consider stick clipping the first bolt. Cold shuts at the top.
